Learning To Hear

My sheep learn to hear My voice.

“My sheep hear My voice. Often, they don’t know that it is My voice and dismiss the direction or guidance I supply. Each of you must learn to recognize My voice. Remember that learning is a process. Know that each individual learns differently. Some slower. Some faster. Some by trial and error. Some by being in the continual presence of the Teacher.”

“It is My will that My sheep can identify My voice. The closer you follow the better you hear. My words are often in a still, small voice. Ask Me for ears to hear and a heart to understand. Trust and faith must work side by side. I will never make it hard for you to hear My voice. Unbelief will steal your ability to hear as will listening to the lies of the devil. Beware of the unfamiliar voice. Know Me and you will know the imposter when he attempts to call you from the righteous way.”

“The Holy Spirit is your help. He will alert you to the tricks of the enemy. Again, unbelief will steal away your warning, your guidance. As an earthly father protects and stands ready to intervene, so does your Heavenly Father. I am for you, not against you. I will help you learn to listen well and to hear My voice. It is your destiny. I have declared it so. Learn to listen. Learn to discern. Learn to trust. I have spoken.” (12/28/2024)

To be transparent and authentic, I have been apprehensive to post this message. It seemed potentially

"too far out there". So, I thought I would wait til His peace stepped in. The message during Sunday's gathering helped me see the importance of posting it. Please allow the Lord to give you the needed direction to walk in obedience and victory concerning His will as you lean in learning to listen.

Who Am I To You?

You are everything I need.

Lord, how do You want your people to see You as we advance into this 2025 new year?

"I am the Bread of Life, the Door, the Shepherd of My sheep. I am the mighty God who sees and hears the heart cries and the shouts of praise. I am your Heavenly Father who walks beside you encouraging you to continually pursue your journey toward Me. I am available to you every moment. You simply need to call upon My love; then, expect and see the response of your Lord. I am for you."

"In the quiet moments and the chaos of a busy day, I am available to you. You need only call upon that love. But, your call must be filled with faith. Unbelief will disguise My response and cause you disappointment - a tool your enemy wields skillfully to steal your faith. It is often subtle, but effective. Know that your times are in My hand. Rehearse it often. It is a truth that will empower you when you feel unable and ineffective."

"Remember that the plans and purposes I call you to are Mine. They do not fail. Rely on Me for direction, strength, and outcome. I am the master architect. No aspect of My plan and purpose has a flaw. I am able. I am worthy of your complete trust. Look to Me as you journey through your new year toward your destiny. I am present every step of the way. Keep your focus on Me. I have spoken." (01/01/2025)

This morning I heard a statement made concerning Matthew 15:16 which caught my attention. Jesus asked Peter, " ... but who do you say that I am?" As we enter into this new year, I think this is an important question to ponder - intentionally. Who do you say Jesus is? I'm convinced that your answer and my answer will have much to do with the way this year unfolds - positively or negatively.

Let the Lord know who YOU think He is as you enter 2025.

Distracted?

Learn to overcome the distractions.

“My Child, many are the attempts of the enemy to distract you from a strong walk with Me. You intend to come into My presence but the smallest, most insignificant interruption pulls your attention away. With every realization of a distraction, turn your focus back to Me. Soon you will recognize the tempter’s efforts and avoid them. Learn to recognize the subtle agenda of your enemy.”

“You are like a child learning to walk. That child’s father encourages his child to get up and to keep moving forward. No shame is given because of the fall, only encouragement to keep on – to try again. So it is with your Heavenly Father. I do not impart shame to you when you fall into the tempter’s distracting efforts. I encourage you to keep moving toward Me when you realize the snare. I wait with open arms. It is good; it is necessary for you to come close to Me. No matter the interruptions on your approach into My presence, the arrival is worth the journey – every time."

"I love you, Child. Enter into an intimate time with Me. Come often despite the challenges of the enemy to thwart your effort. Do not let discouragement hold you back. I am a patient Father longing to enjoy the fellowship of His child. I am always ready to welcome you. Come in spite of the distractions. I love you.” (12/23/2024)

Did you have something else you would like your children to know?

“Your Lord is holy! Holy is His name. Mighty God. Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace. Yet, Child, I call you into My presence to bless you. You are My prized possession created in My very image. I have chosen you and placed you in My family. You are Mine. My covenant with you is strong and resolute. Nothing can take you from My hand once you have given your life to Me.”

“I am here for you. You are here for Me. We are a team working to bring the lost ones to the knowledge of salvation and eternal life. Lift up your eyes to your glorious Lord, and see the beauty of His holiness. Oh, the wonders that await you! You can never imagine their beauty. Come into My presence, and taste My goodness. I wait with great longing for you to come. I have spoken.” (12/23/2024)

If you have the time to read, reread, and reread again, the impact of the Lord's loving message will touch your heart in ways you can never know otherwise. How loving and glorious is our Heavenly Father! Let me know if you find I'm correct.
